[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chch:
Please flame me if I am wrong but......

Why am I reading a thread about the Topaz LCD screen???

The Topaz is TFT not LCD.

White light is unfiltered light so all 3 coloured sub pixels are effectively off (as per TFT functioanlity).

The remaining influences on whiteness of light are the power of the backlight, the materials used in the screen (to avoid sun reflection, enable touch functionality and protect the device) and the screen protector.

I guess it is possible for the 4th subpixel (the white pixel) also not to be set to be allowed to be fully open but why would they do this. Make sure that you are viewing something truly white. You don't really know unless you made the background etc yourself.

To get more backlight power disable the light sensor and crank up the brightness.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiac:
Every TFT screen is LCD, since TFT is a type of LCD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD .

What people are talking about here is not the brightness of the screen, but the difference in color temperature of screens used by HTC for the same type of phones. A screen with a color temperature of 6500K will show 'white' to be more yellow than a screen with a color temperature of 4400K, which will portray 'white' to be more blueish. Cranking up brightness doesn't turn a warm (yellow) white into a colder (blue) white.

To each its own preference:6500K is the standard color temperature by which pro photographers calibrate their monitor screens to.

For office applications; a colder temperature with a more blueish white is preferred.

I am a pro photographer, and my pc screen is calibrated to 6500K.

My phones (HTC Diamond and HTC Artemis) on the other hand are colder, which is better imo for the things I do with the phone (sending sms and stuff). My best friend has a Diamond with a warmer screen, things look more yellow on his screen. It doesn't bother him, but the difference is there.
[Palm Treo 750] vnest1644:
He everyone, i was walking around the site for few days, and i like the work and see many talented people in developing area. i am amazed.

Here is a problem i have:

It's a palm treo 750, and hard reset won't help it. I did it many many times, found many sites which describe the steps to successful hard reset. But no help.

I have t-mobile, so anything i will do, i need it to work with t-mobile. So I am ready to install anything on it, the only request is i want it to work with t mobile.

I found few ROM's here (i don't know what is that, if anyone could explain, it would be great) but I could not find the procedure how to install it. I downloaded the files ..but don't know what do to...please help:)

to reainstall os in it, actuve sync must be able to recognize it, but my phone can not be run.... is there another way to do it?>
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] d0ugie:
Before you plug in that USB cable, join that bluetooth PAN or blaze up that WMWifiRouter demo, you'd best fire up a bandwidth meter on your lappy to make sure you don't sail too far past that 5GB or whatever carrier monthly max lest yo' ass be surcharged up the ass! Note also that if you're running XP you've probably got virii up the ass and that when you tether, when those virii spit out those dirty packets to random IPs, that counts against your cap just as much as facebook and youtube and xda and slashdot.

So put on this jimmy cap. FreeMeter, found on sourceforge (so you know it's legit), lets you monitor your throughput, it plots that **** out on a pretty tiny chart and lets you keep comprehensive yet intelligible logs of incoming, outgoing and combined bandwidth. And most importantly you can set the thing to alert you when you're approaching whatever you set it to warn you about when you're approaching, it .. you get the idea. Use it, put it in Start Up.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] lilecho:
or...

Disable phone as modem through Diamond Tweak/Adv Config/Registry Editor and not worry about bandwidth at all
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] d0ugie:
Umm.. I'm talking about a tool for those of us who want to tether but don't want to get a $4000 bill and know their carrier's cap, not a way to prevent people from accidentally tethering if that's what you're getting at.

I'm fairly certain that a carrier who wants to either tame network traffic or make more money from people downloading movies over their phone counts transmitted bytes on their own routers, not your phone, plus they probably don't warn you or clip off the connection when you hit any cap they may have set in their TOS, so this thing I posted is a tool for tethering (or just satisfying your curiosity).

Anyone know if these carriers cap just downloaded bandwidth or the combined figure for up and down data? And has anyone run into an enforcement situation and gotten a larger bill due to exceeding some data limit on an unlimited plan? And can carriers figure out whether I'm listening to Howard on SiriusWM5 versus downloading Linux ISOs on my laptop?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] GldRush98:
Unlimited data plan for the win. I'm glad I don't have to worry about caps
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] d0ugie:
Well I don't know. According to this, assuming it hasn't been changed since Jan 08, if you use their Data Connect plan which I believe may be [partly] defined as using the isp.cingular access point rather than wap.cingular, you have a "soft limit" of 5GB a month. If you go over that "repeatedly," at least at the time of this policy from almost a year and a half ago, AT&T might send you a letter advising you of your overindulgance and threaten to "remove the feature" if you keep it up. And that's for legit tethering. I'm not sure if regular data, like streaming media on the phone without tethering, counts against that number which is of some concern to me as I listen to Sirius a lot and like to do it on isp.cingular because, I don't know, I just like to.

As for under-the-radar tethering without a plan using an unlimited MEdia Net plan through the natted WAP, well, I'm safely guessing that that's a TOS violation and it could get ugly if you burn through enough data to get their attention. Ugly meaning at best a warning or possibly signing you up automatically to the Data Connect plan. I'm speaking out my ass here mostly but I might be right. Anyway I think that applies to most of us here so that's why I put up the bandwidth meter (and for those of other carriers like Verizon who are more anal) to keep y'all under the radar as I don't think AT&T immediately knows (or cares) if the packets going through their routers originated originally from your phone or a computer. I imagine that takes careful packet parsing that might just be out of the question to do for everyone all the time. Tallying up gigabytes on the other hand, that they probably do. But I wish they would pour more money into infrastructure because bandwidth is getting pretty thin in my city during the day. Can barely listen to Howard without frequent buffering. :(

What I'm more nervous about however is Time Warner doing the same thing for my Internet like they've been doing in other markets. Latest word is that they're backing down but if they start up I'll sign up for FiOS.

Overall I've been pleased with AT&T. Today my old man needed help signing on to his company email using a Java thin-client a la citrix and couldn't get it going on my mom's Kubuntu Linux laptop. So I fired up WMWifiRouter on a train from Connecticut going around 80mph and was able to VNC (like remote desktop) to his laptop (Linux, btw) using my laptop through my phone /while actually on the phone with him/ while having two SSH terminals open behind it to fix it. That's pretty badass, to me, doing all that flying through tunnels, real and technological bouncing from one cell to the next.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] lilecho:
ahh yes

I quite often forget how the majority of users here at XDA are on GSM networks. I was speaking of using "HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ForceCellConnection=Sprint" to force all data connections from the device to use the 'Sprint' (used for data connections on the device) connection versus the 'Phone As Modem' connection that triggers the counter for Sprint's 5GB cap. Nice app though. After using and exploring all possible upgrades and features of a P.O.S. Treo 700p as a "in between" device while I switched from T-Mobile to my Dad's corporate Sprint plan, I discovered this similar app from Sprint. Just in case any Sprint WM users wanted to be completely legit/keep track of their tethering from a non-WM device.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] death_meet:
Hi Guys,

I just snagged a T-Mobile G1 off eBay in India and turning it on I found that pattern unlock thingy.Not knowing what the pattern was I did the wrong pattern 5 times and then got stuck on the username/pwd screen.I couldnot go anywhere after that.I consulted some guys on the net and they asked me to give it the alt+w treatment.An voila, now my phone is asking to be reactivated via google. I neither have a T-Mobile SIM, nor am I in T-Mobile coverage. How do i unlock my phone? Is there any way I can flash some unlocked ROM into it so I could get some actual service out of my device other than being a friggin' paper weight. Did I completely fry it?Is there any hope? Please help me....

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
Its not fried... but you will need to flash a modified firmware. But in order to do this you need root access. So, you will need to borrow someone else's T-Mobile sim card. Change your APN at the login page to use the Edge network (there are guides on here on doing that) and then login. Gain root access with again, another guide we have written on that. Finally, flash a modified G1 firmware, preferably JF or Haykuro builds which allow you to skip all that. However.. what service do you even plan on using with your G1? Understand that likely only ATT/ Cingular will work minus the 3G coverage which abolishes pretty much half the functions on the G1, but either way thats what you need to do first.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurre:
You dont need tmobile to unlock it from that screen, you can enter apn settings for your area and connect to any local network.

I'm in norway and I could activate mine just fine, I just had to put in my carrier's settings in the apn screen. Also worth noting that you can only get to the data roaming screen if you restart the phone (it'll say "you have lost network connectivity <something>" and allow you to open that screen).

[General Questions and Answers] dirtycanuck:
I have been trying to figure this out for like 2 years. I just want to be able to record video in the background. I am running Mobile 6.1 on an HTC S720. I have tried the latest coolcamera (it just starts and immediately shuts off). I have searched EVERYWHERE. It would seem that the program built into the phone could potentially keep recording if the trigger to stop recording once the program was exited was turned off.

Is there a known registry modification (or any modification) to make the camera program stay always recording?

Is there any other software people have had luck with other then coolcamera?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, even a link or keyword, anything is helpful at this point. This really seems like it should be easier then it is (or hopefully isn't).
[General Questions and Answers] dirlan2001:
Hi,

Guess you'll need to find a way to minimize (or hide) the UI of your camera. I tried recording a video and then pressed the Win-button on my keyboard to get into the startmenu, but it just stopped recording. Looks like the cam takes over the phone completely.

Besides, if you want the phone to keep recording, you'll need a very BIG storagecard (19s vid = 2.8 MB on my phone) and an even BIGGER battery.

:D

[General Questions and Answers] dirtycanuck:
Ya I have a 4 gig card in it. The camera program stays on because I can still see it in the process menu. I specifically want this for altercations with police whether in my car or on the street. I would like to start recording then lock the phone. I have had my phone recording while dealing with a cop and he saw the camera and his attitude changed. I'd rather them not know I am recording, and not be able to access the phone at the same time. I understand they could just pop out the card, but lengthwise I could pop out the card and slip it into my sock if they confiscate the phone. The phone can handle about 45 mins of straight recording so battery life shouldn't be an issue, plus it stays plugged in while in my car.

Thanks for the input as any is welcomed.

Make sure you have SPL-2.40.Olipro as your bootloader

Then using SD card method flash this DCD ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/ImCoKeMaN/roms/TNZ_StockWM5_RUU_signed.nbh

This will give you a device that gets stuck after the 2nd spladsh screen.

Then flash this Radio ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Titan/Radio_Roms/titan_2.13_CDMA.rar
